Bob Kelly. From A/227 to D/227. Gun pilots had to have the moustache. This one is on the weak side.

Phan Thiet
Note the 55 gallon drum with an immersion heater. In the evening, we’d fire up the heater. The first guys got a cold shower, the middle guys got a comfortable shower, the guys at the end got a hot shower or no shower at all.

Helicopters, at least the guns, were kid magnets.
This photo was taken at Song Mau. We spent a lot of time there - waiting. We’d put out a recon patrol in the morning. They’d recon for a while; if they didn’t find anything, we’d pick them up and put them someplace else. If they did find something, we’d do a CA.
